      Everywhere is a classic

      Many years ago, when I watched the big story Journey to the West, for a non-talented person like me, it was as sleepy as everyone else. She fell asleep when she saw it, and scolded her when she woke up. Fortunately, the money for movie tickets back then was much more reliable than it is now. So, I am very suspicious of the integrity of some people who write reviews now - did you really understand it then? Ball, people who could understand it at that time, it would be good for all China to reach...

      Classic lines

      1. I once had a sincere love in front of me, but I didn't cherish it. I didn't regret it until I lost it. The most painful thing in life is this. If everything can be repeated, I will say to the girl: I love you! If I want to add a deadline to this love - it will be 10,000 years! 2. Tang Seng: Don't be angry, everyone, you will be angry! Wukong, you are too naughty, I told you not to throw things, why are you... Look at me, you threw the stick again before I finished. Dropped! The Moonlight...

      good fortune

      Why don't you make apples, but grapes?

      Do you need a reason to love someone? No need, even if she is a demon, love if she likes it.

      Past and present life, soul reincarnation. Your spirit is passed on from generation to generation.

      My home is B1, No. 101, the fourth side of Wuyueshan.

      That lump is yours, I'm behind you.

      Very lewd gay talk.

      If not for loving you

      Calling a friend crying, she said what happened to you, are you Wang Laoqi?
      I said yes, I was watching "Journey to the West".
      My friend said, it really is your real body, and if you cry like this while watching a comedy, it's just you.
      I said how many years ago did you last watch this movie? Check it out again.

      Liu Zhenwei said that he did not dare to tell the investors about filming a tragedy, and no one would pay for it, so he used comedy to tell a tragic story. This...

      resignedly

      Nothing in this world belongs to you, including yourself. Maybe we came to this world just to create something of our own. Because we are young, we bet on love. Supreme Treasure rejected Zixia, he thought he still loved Jingjing. Seeing Jingjing, he finds out that Zixia is the true love. Fate has been joking with him: the Supreme Treasure suddenly became Sun Wukong, and after a lot of hard work, he found Jingjing and fell in love with Zixia. And the choice is so cruel: to defeat the Bull...

      It is undeniably a film worth rewatching, with a strong cast, and the rhythm and entertainment of the story are just right. There is also enough suspense at the end. When the Monkey King in the mirror appears, a new story is about to begin!...

      Well I have to say something about White Day on March 14th, 2009. . . . I watched the film at the awesome Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Studios. Apart from the very unpalatable dishes in the Northeast, I can't really find any...

    Shooting Highlights

    1. When the film was first released, it encountered Waterloo at the box office. Hong Kong, where the situation was the best, only recovered the cost. Taiwanese filmmakers were suspicious of Star Master’s tens of millions of box office appeal. The mainland, especially the north, was terrible, and it was a big Beijing city. The two episodes of "A Chinese Odyssey" only sold for 400,000 yuan, and some shows had less than 10 viewers. 
    2. In...

    Creative process

    "A Chinese Odyssey" did not have a detailed script until the filming started, but was just a rough idea. The idea was taken from "Jeffrey Lau", who is also the director and screenwriter Jeffrey Lau. The candidate for "Supreme Treasure" in the play is not in Jeffrey Lau's opinion. Stephen Chow is none other than that. Prior to this, Stephen Chow has collaborated with Jeffrey Lau on a number of films, including Stephen Chow's famous work...
